Fun fact- Red Vines are Twizzlers made of plastic.

Yeap, decoration not food. Fact.

Poster Two: Just do X and it will fix Y. Anyone who doesn't is just stupid.

I'm at an academic conference this week, and read the word poster totally different at first

Both taste equally plasticy to me.

Both in no way resemble real liquorice.

Not that that's better necessarily, I also strongly dislike real liquorice.

I have a buddy who loves Menards. For a long time I hated the place but mostly because I live near one of the oldest stores that for some reason gets no renovation or remodel love. Its like a time machine going in there right back to 1977....

I also gave him hell for grocery shopping there. "They got Hydrox, Snootsie rolls, Red vines, and KC masterpiece honey maple ranch..." Who wants to eat any of that???

I love all the weird groceries they sell!

It's the main reason I go. You know how much easier it is to find anything else at Home Depot (especially if you use the website that will tell you in what part of an aisle specifically the thing you want is at)?

Twizzlers taste better, but Red Vines make better soda straws.

Fun fact- Red Vines are Twizzlers made of plastic.

Also fun fact - Red Vines are better than Twizzlers for whipping the person making all the noise at the theatre. Nibs are the projectile equivalent.

On a sidenote - I don't know if this is true for Hydrox - but Oreos are vegan. Like, the fact that a "cream-filled cookie" is just naturally vegan concerns me.

Not because I hate vegan food or anything in principle, but I'm of the opinion that "cream-filled" should, you know, have some dairy in it.

The original version of Hydrox used lard, which was a problem for a number of groups.

IIRC, it's the other way around- Hydrox was always all-kosher, while Oreos used lard.

I think you're right.

Sorry, no. D&D 4E isn't story now. That bit of forum "knowledge" stems from a few posters' laughably bad reading of 2-3 lines from the PHB and blowing them wildly, egregiously out of proportion. Note how literally none of the game's mechanics reinforce that reading.
